VERY FUNNY. I have never had any of those problems on my Mac, but I have had at least 5 of them on my PC today. I really hate it when I drag a file to a new location on my PC and it just creates an alias in the new location.

Didn't this just win a prize at WWDC, why is it in the Windows Meda Format? I had to play it on my PC.

it's so stupid though. system files gone? nothing ever truly gone on a PC, but lost on a mac? we have a trash can on a mac. i can't figure out how to get rid of the damn thing. it's easy as pie to get rid of the recycle bin on windows. and system files, what? whatever. i mean, sure, i guess this was kind of amusing, but i can't identify with it at all. is that the joke?

on another note, i watched this on my mac WMP, and got no video. is that supposed to happen?

I didn't get any video either. But his comments didn't make much sense. I mean if you don't want system preferences popping up and down all the time than you should just set it not to pop up more than a set number of times or make it not run checks. It's not at all more annoying than those crappy "Update Software Now?" popups in windows which you can only set to put off 3 days max, and appear at restart. As for the renaming, I mean come on how hard is it to remember to click on the icon and not the name.

His sarcastic comment about shutting down the computer is pretty funny though. And his comment on beign cluttered I can agree with. I don't that that this was meant to be a joke.

1. It's not the same if you don't see the picture.
2. If you don't think this was a joke then you a crappy sense of humor (no offense) or you take Macs way to seriously or you lack at the ability to laugh at yourself or all of the above.

Hmmm...I've always called it the Apple key, also. Wonder why? Now I remember. I have an old Quadra 700 set up for the kids. The command keys have an Apple symbol on them.

I just tried to play it on my mum's PC, and it connects to the MS site to download a codec, but fails, telling me it can't find one. So it seems that it might not be a WMV file per se, but something else in a WMV "wrapper" (like how you can have all kinds of formats in a QuickTime wrapper).
